| Ghana | DANIDA GREEN BUSINESS | Training/Capacity Building/Workshop | Cocoa | The training was well received.

Some of which were used as an update for the tools. | One major challenge was device compatibility. Since the odk tool is comptabile only with Android devices, individuals with Iphones or ios devices had to seek alternative solution. | It would be highly appreciated if the ODK tool could be made available on ios devices as well |
| Ghana | DANIDA GREEN BUSINESS | Training/Capacity Building/Workshop | Cocoa | In conclusion, the data collection training program conducted in April 2024 by Solidaridad West Africa, in collaboration with IITA, Preferred By Nature, and Rikolto, marks a significant stride in empowering field enumerators with the skills essential for the Danida Green Business Project. By focusing on mobile data collection techniques using ODK and Kobo, and ensuring a thorough comprehension of the baseline survey questionnaire, the program has laid a robust foundation for precise and effective data gathering. This initiative not only enhances the capabilities of the enumerators but also strengthens the overall framework of the project, paving the way for more informed decision-making and successful project outcomes. | Some of the challenges faced by the enumerators included the insufficient training duration, which left little time for a thorough review and revision of the questionnaires. Additionally, the equipment in the training hall was not fully functional, which hindered the effectiveness of the training sessions. | Advance Distribution of Questionnaire: It is recommended that the questionnaire be shared with participants ahead of time. This allows for thorough revision and the incorporation of feedback before the training begins, ensuring that all necessary adjustments are made. Pre-Training Inspection of Facilities: The training center should be inspected beforehand to confirm the availability of fully functional projectors and projector screens. This ensures that technical resources are adequate and in working order, facilitating a smooth and effective training process. Extension of Training Period: The training period should be extended to a maximum of five days. This additional time will allow for a more comprehensive review and structuring of the questionnaire, ensuring that field enumerators are fully prepared before commencing fieldwork. |
| Ghana | DANIDA GREEN BUSINESS | Training/Capacity Building/Workshop | Cocoa | The climate-smart cocoa agroforestry training for the cocoa farmers at the community level will lead to significant improvements in agricultural productivity, climate resilience, diversification and sustainable farming practices as well land use practices. The economic benefits and increased environmental awareness among farmers are promising, although continuous support and training are essential for sustaining these emerging gains. The positive outcomes underscore the need for robust policy and institutional support to scale up and institutionalize climate-smart practices in the cocoa sector. Stringent land use policy must be enforced within the landscape to sustain and promote growth of the cocoa sector in the phase of the rapid illegal mining in the area. Attention must also be given to the use of agro-inputs, focusing on the availability of approved products, proper application methods, and the structuring of authorized dealers. This approach is essential to ensure the regulated and effective use of agro-inputs within the landscape. | Conducting climate-smart cocoa agroforestry training in the Wassa Amenfi landscape faces several significant challenges. One primary issue is the fatigue among farmers due to frequent engagements with various NGOs, which often yield unproductive outcomes. This has led to considerable difficulty in mobilizing farmers for training, as substantial effort is required to persuade them to participate. The frequent power outages made it difficult to reach out to farmers with announcements on the training as the local community radios were not functioning. This significantly affected the number of participants in the communities The prevalence of pests and diseases, coupled with climatic impacts resulting in low productivity, has driven farmers to sell their cocoa farms to illegal mining operators. This widespread conversion of cocoa farms into gold mining sites poses a serious threat to the sustainability of cocoa production in the area. Resistance to change among farmers is another major barrier. Many are hesitant to abandon traditional methods due to risk aversion and uncertainty about the benefits of new techniques. Infrastructure challenges, including inadequate transportation and communication networks, further restrict access to training sites and the distribution of essential inputs. Climate variability, with unpredictable weather patterns and increased environmental stress, complicates the timing and success of training and the implementation of agroforestry practices. Limited access to quality and approved agricultural inputs hinders farmers' ability to adopt new practices. This issue is exacerbated by insufficient training and extension services, with inadequate and infrequent sessions and a shortage of skilled personnel limiting the reach and effectiveness of training programs. Additionally, low literacy levels impede the understanding and implementation of technical agroforestry practices. Poor road networks further challenge timely community engagement for training. Economic pressures, such as price volatility, reduce incentives for farmers to invest in agroforestry. Social and cultural factors, including insecure land tenure and complex community dynamics, affect participation and equitable access to training. Finally, the lack of robust policy and institutional support, coupled with poor coordination among stakeholders, undermines training efforts. Addressing these multifaceted challenges requires a comprehensive approach to ensure the successful implementation of climate-smart cocoa agroforestry practices. | 1. To mitigate against farmer fatigue, coordination with other NGOs to reduce overlapping activities and ensure that engagements are spaced out to reduce fatigue among farmers shall be established. Also, the tangible benefits and successful outcomes of the training will be clearly communicated to build trust and motivate participation. 2. Cococbod should implement policies that offer incentives for maintaining cocoa farms and penalties for illegal mining activities. Collaborate with local authorities to enforce these measures. |

This has led to considerable difficulty in mobilizing farmers for training, as substantial effort is required to persuade them to participate. The frequent power outages made it difficult to reach out to farmers with announcements on the training as the local community radios were not functioning. This significantly affected the number of participants in the communities The prevalence of pests and diseases, coupled with climatic impacts resulting in low productivity, has driven farmers to sell their cocoa farms to illegal mining operators. This widespread conversion of cocoa farms into gold mining sites poses a serious threat to the sustainability of cocoa production in the area. Resistance to change among farmers is another major barrier. Many are hesitant to abandon traditional methods due to risk aversion and uncertainty about the benefits of new techniques. Infrastructure challenges, including inadequate transportation and communication networks, further restrict access to training sites and the distribution of essential inputs. Climate variability, with unpredictable weather patterns and increased environmental stress, complicates the timing and success of training and the implementation of agroforestry practices. Limited access to quality and approved agricultural inputs hinders farmers' ability to adopt new practices. This issue is exacerbated by insufficient training and extension services, with inadequate and infrequent sessions and a shortage of skilled personnel limiting the reach and effectiveness of training programs. Additionally, low literacy levels impede the understanding and implementation of technical agroforestry practices. Poor road networks further challenge timely community engagement for training. Economic pressures, such as price volatility, reduce incentives for farmers to invest in agroforestry. Social and cultural factors, including insecure land tenure and complex community dynamics, affect participation and equitable access to training. Finally, the lack of robust policy and institutional support, coupled with poor coordination among stakeholders, undermines training efforts. Addressing these multifaceted challenges requires a comprehensive approach to ensure the successful implementation of climate-smart cocoa agroforestry practices. | 1. Cococbod should implement policies that offer incentives for maintaining cocoa farms and penalties for illegal mining activities. Collaborate with local authorities to enforce these measures. 2.

The comprehensive training covered essential topics such as climate change mitigation and adaptation, agroforestry, and pest and disease management. The practical sessions, including tree planting to commemorate Green Ghana Day, reinforced these lessons and demonstrated their real-world applications. Additionally, by addressing sustainable land use practices and the challenges posed by illegal mining activities, the program underscored the importance of environmental stewardship. Overall, this initiative has laid a solid foundation for fostering sustainable cocoa production and empowering farmers to adapt to climate change. | Majority of participant present were male, thus females were not well represented..

| Ghana | DANIDA GREEN BUSINESS | Training/Capacity Building/Workshop | Cocoa | The climate-smart cocoa agroforestry training for the cocoa farmers at the community level will lead to significant improvements in agricultural productivity, climate resilience, diversification and sustainable farming practices as well land use practices. The economic benefits and increased environmental awareness among farmers are promising, although continuous support and training are essential for sustaining these emerging gains. The positive outcomes underscore the need for robust policy and institutional support to scale up and institutionalize climate-smart practices in the cocoa sector. Stringent land use policy must be enforced within the landscape to sustain and promote growth of the cocoa sector in the phase of the rapid illegal mining in the area. Attention must also be given to the use of agro-inputs, focusing on the availability of approved products, proper application methods, and the structuring of authorized dealers. This approach is essential to ensure the regulated and effective use of agro-inputs within the landscape. | Conducting climate-smart cocoa agroforestry training in the Wassa Amenfi landscape faces several significant challenges. One primary issue is the fatigue among farmers due to frequent engagements with various NGOs, which often yield unproductive outcomes. This has led to considerable difficulty in mobilizing farmers for training, as substantial effort is required to persuade them to participate. The frequent power outages made it difficult to reach out to farmers with announcements on the training as the local community radios were not functioning. This significantly affected the number of participants in the communities The prevalence of pests and diseases, coupled with climatic impacts resulting in low productivity, has driven farmers to sell off their cocoa farms to illegal small scale mining operators. This widespread conversion of cocoa farms into gold mining sites poses a serious threat to the sustainability of cocoa production in the area. Resistance to change among farmers is another major barrier. Many are hesitant to abandon traditional methods due to risk aversion and uncertainty about the benefits of new techniques. Infrastructure challenges, including inadequate transportation and communication networks, further restrict access to training sites and the distribution of essential inputs. Climate variability, with unpredictable weather patterns and increased environmental stress, complicates the timing and success of training and the implementation of agroforestry practices. Limited access to quality and approved agricultural inputs hinders farmers' ability to adopt new practices. This issue is exacerbated by insufficient training and extension services, with inadequate and infrequent sessions and a shortage of skilled personnel limiting the reach and effectiveness of training programs. Additionally, low literacy levels impede the understanding and implementation of technical agroforestry practices. Economic pressures, such as price volatility, reduce incentives for farmers to invest in agroforestry. Social and cultural factors, including insecure land tenure and complex community dynamics, affect participation and equitable access to training. Finally, the lack of robust policy and institutional support, coupled with poor coordination among stakeholders, undermines training efforts. Addressing these multifaceted challenges requires a comprehensive approach to ensure the successful implementation of climate-smart cocoa agroforestry practices.

| Ghana | DANIDA GREEN BUSINESS | Training/Capacity Building/Workshop | Cocoa | The climate-smart cocoa agroforestry training for the cocoa farmers at the community level will lead to significant improvements in agricultural productivity, climate resilience, diversification and sustainable farming practices as well land use practices. The economic benefits and increased environmental awareness among farmers are promising, although continuous support and training are essential for sustaining these emerging gains. The positive outcomes underscore the need for robust policy and institutional support to scale up and institutionalize climate-smart practices in the cocoa sector. Stringent land use policy must be enforced within the landscape to sustain and promote growth of the cocoa sector in the phase of the rapid illegal mining in the area. Attention must also be given to the use of agro-inputs, focusing on the availability of approved products, proper application methods, and the structuring of authorized dealers. This approach is essential to ensure the regulated and effective use of agro-inputs within the landscape. | Conducting climate-smart cocoa agroforestry training in the Wassa Amenfi landscape faces several significant challenges. One primary issue is the fatigue among farmers due to frequent engagements with various NGOs, which often yield unproductive outcomes. This has led to considerable difficulty in mobilizing farmers for training, as substantial effort is required to persuade them to participate. The frequent power outages made it difficult to reach out to farmers with announcements on the training as the local community radios were not functioning. This significantly affected the number of participants in the communities The prevalence of pests and diseases, coupled with climatic impacts resulting in low productivity, has driven farmers to sell off their cocoa farms to illegal small scale mining operators. This widespread conversion of cocoa farms into gold mining sites poses a serious threat to the sustainability of cocoa production in the area. Resistance to change among farmers is another major barrier. Many are hesitant to abandon traditional methods due to risk aversion and uncertainty about the benefits of new techniques. Infrastructure challenges, including inadequate transportation and communication networks, further restrict access to training sites and the distribution of essential inputs. Climate variability, with unpredictable weather patterns and increased environmental stress, complicates the timing and success of training and the implementation of agroforestry practices.

The private companies Eliho and Frudor should hire and train local field assistants to establish relationships within communities, facilitate training sessions, and ensure consistent follow-up.

We also shared with the farmers the importance and benefits of farm book record. Formation of 30 farmer groups was easily formed, due to the fact all the communities we sensitized, had existing farmer groups, inwhich we only have to allocate them to those groups, and group those farmers that don't belong to any existing group to new groups. All activities went smoothly and successful, because all objectives where met. Farmers appreciated the good efforts of Solidaridad in involving them and their communities in the Acting Now project which they term it as "new idea for agriculture development" | There was a massive turnout of farmers which exceeded the required numbers for the project, this made it difficult for the formation of groups inwhich we had to drop some.

| Nigeria | ACTING NOW NI | Training/Capacity Building/Workshop | Okro Pepper Cabbage Tomatoes Onions | Mulching with different materials can potentially conserve soil moisture, reduce evaporation losses, and suppress weed population. Different mulching exhibited significant impacts on growth, yield, and quality of various crops. | None | Both types of mulch (organic and inorganic) discourage weeds, but organic mulches also improve the soil as they decompose. Inorganic mulches don't break down and enrich the soil, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're not a smart option for your garden. Case in point: Black plastic, a popular kind of inorganic mulch, warms the soil and radiates heat during the night, keeping heat-loving vegetables like eggplant and cherry tomatoes cozy and vigorous |

| Nigeria | ACTING NOW NI | Training/Capacity Building/Workshop | Okro Cabbage Tomatoes | 1. Avoid harvesting in wet conditions, and harvest as soon as possible after the crop has been frosted to minimise in-field deterioration. Use the forage harvester's corn cracker to break all the maize grains during harvest. Maize should be chopped to 12–18 mm (0.5–0.6 in) in length. 2. Stored maize must be kept in any outside structure with a rainproof roof that enables side ventilation or in commercially available steel or plastic tank conversions that allow for efficient storage. However, always remember to monitor your crop for temperature and moisture content. 3. The best post-harvest practices for maize include drying properly and safely using drying facilities, monitoring moisture content carefully, and ensuring that the storage in place will protect the maize from mold growth, pests, and moisture. | None | Maize can be stored for a long period of time (a year of more) if the moisture content is below the safe moisture level (below 14% or 12% and less) |

The training session which involved seventeen (17) female participants in attendance. Together, with the Participants available. We went through the fourth module of the training manual. Which comprises of potato pest and management . Potato pest have been a major problem to the farmers. Most of the pests have caused alot of damages to the potato tubers. It has lead to huge loss. The farmers, voiced out their different experience with the different pests that have been destroying the tubers on their various, farms and also in the store. Surprisingly, most of the farmers expressed inadequate knowledge of how to manage and control the different pest. However, during the cause of our discussions we were able to point out the chemicals to apply that will destroy the pests, the natural way of control the pests but on the farm and store too and also the proper measurements on how to apply the insecticide and also pesticide. Because most of the farmers don't have ideas on how to make use of the chemicals. The participants, enthusiasm to learn and high degree of participation in the discussion, was a positive pointer to their willingness to make improvement. This was leveraged upon in educating them properly. In conclusion, the GAP training has expose the farmers to newer innovative ideas. The participants were willing to adopt the new concept and implement it on their various farms.

| Nigeria | ACTING NOW NI | Training/Capacity Building/Workshop | Maize Potatoes Okro Pepper Cabbage Tomatoes Onions | The Gender Champions and SMEs training took place on the 10-12 June, 2024 in Jos Plateau State. 19 Gender Champions and 9 SMEs (12 males and 16 females) were trained on the principles of GSI, who are to step down the training to households and community leaders. The advocacy for gender and Social Inclusion (GSI) is aimed at the increase and improvement of decision making, towards enhancing innovative increase in productivity, better resources management, increasing the resilience and social cohesion in the society. The SMEs were also trained on inclusive service delivery, input sourcing, bio fertilizer production and inclusive service delivery. The 28 Gender Champions and SMEs who were also trained on the important roles of Gender Model Family (GMF) on how to use the methodology to analyze gender roles, needs and constraints in the society. By the promotion of inclusive access to resources, training and decision making, that will enhance gender, religion, age, ethnicity, people with the need of communication (speech), youth, physically challenged, migrants, e.t.c. inclusion in the society. The Gender and Social Inclusion frowns at the discriminants in oppressing intersectionality bias privilege marginalization and stereotype and also with the following pathways of the 28 Gender Champions and SMES. The training also explained the 3 pathways of Acting Now intervention which include: Pathway 1: The knowledge and skills transfer for the suitable production of farm products, addressing the vulnerability of the food production system. Pathway 2: Through the development and the improvement of center pre neutral and VSLA (Village Savings and Loans Association)- led services inputs and the provision of technology. Pathway 3: Market connections, connecting the farmers (food producers) to local marketers (food sellers) to ensure accessibility to food marketing, indirectly benefiting local (urban) consumers, and access to nutritioning in the future for a longer term. The resource person on the 3rd day gave the best types of manure and fertilizers for farmers to use. 1.Vermicomposting: This is the method of making/mixing manure (organic or inorganic). 2. Geo+ which is produced by NEMA company, they produce the NPK and Urea . One sachet of this mixture is equivalent to 50 KG of a bag of fertilizer 3. CHC Agritech fertilizer: This is an Activator (shooting) and Farmers friend Tree efficiency is very organic and vital. The second resourced person by name Okechukwu introduced a new app Solidaridad_MIS to marketing information that will help the Solidaridad West Africa (SWA) System. Which helps in the following: 1. To track activities with farmers. 2.This tool measures work with farmers. 3.Tool that enables all farmers to work with two way communication and feedback. 4.Organizing training for farmers: this consists of farmers I.D dashboard (for easy access to farmers details). 5.Can replace I.D of farmers. 6.Generate a PDF that serves as a receipt. 7.Aggregates the necessary inputs of changes. 8.Advertisements of the off takers can be seen.

Delay in input distributín | Prompt distribution of inputs |
| Nigeria | ACTING NOW NI | Training/Capacity Building/Workshop | Potatoes | In conclusion, the training started by 12:00 noon and we finished 10 minutes after one. The farmers were trained on the potatoes diseases and their management and the training was very interactive. | The challenge faced during the training was I arrived the venue 15 minutes before 12 but found only Mr Samuel Pole the group leader waiting and he has to call other members on phone to come for the training, and immediately it was 12 @ a dot, I started the training with the few individuals present before others join us. | I recommended that,the farmers should be mindful of time so that they will not have the knowledge halfway and also to reduce the stress on their group leader. |
| Nigeria | ACTING NOW NI | Training/Capacity Building/Workshop | Potatoes | In conclusion, the training has train the farmers to know the most important diseases of potato and ways to manage them. And the member of this group are always serious with this training, that is they always come in mass. | No challenge during the training. | The group member should keep it up. |
| Nigeria | ACTING NOW NI | Training/Capacity Building/Workshop | Potatoes | In conclusion, the Men appreciate Solidaridad for this training because they said mostly they used to see the symptoms of this diseases on their potatoes but they do not know what to do. But with this training they will follow the preventive measures to protect their potatoes from been affected with any form of disease. | The Challenge faced during the training was poor turn and only two take permission for their absence. | I recommended that anytime any member will not be around for any training they should let me know or their group leader. |
| Nigeria | ACTING NOW NI | Training/Capacity Building/Workshop | Potatoes | In conclusion, the training was successful. The women were trained to know that some of this Potato Disease are caused as a result of poor management during irrigation or during post harvest period. | The challenge faced during the training was four members from this group ( Rachael Simon,Salome Samuel,Regina Yakubu and Afiniki Luther) were having meeting with the church and could not meet up. | I recommended that ,we normally set time for next training after every training so they should pls try to avoid clashed program. |
| Nigeria | ACTING NOW NI | Training/Capacity Building/Workshop | Potatoes | In conclusion, the training has trained the youths to understand that Potato Diseases are caused by fungi, bacteria or viruses. And like virus cause diseases are usually caused by some insects like aphids, mite etc. So they should protect their potatoes fields from pest and insects that can lead to virus disease and others. | The turn out was poor and their was no any report from those that were absence. | I recommended that they should please take not of our training days and avail themselves. |

| Nigeria | ACTING NOW NI | Training/Capacity Building/Workshop | Onions | Farmers were taught that weed management in vegetable farming can be done in three ways. Which are * Avoidance- This means preventing a given species from contaminating an area. It's often the most practical means of controlling weeds. * Control- This is limiting weed infestations. * Eradication- This is the complete elimination of all living weed plants, plant parts and seeds from an area. | None | None |
| Nigeria | ACTING NOW NI | Training/Capacity Building/Workshop | Okro | At the end of the training farmers were made to understand that weed management involves the use of non-chemical or chemical method. They were also taught that the method they choose to use depends on the following: environmental conditions available labour weed population the crop desired management practices and the cost of controlling weeds. | None | None |
| Nigeria | ACTING NOW NI | Training/Capacity Building/Workshop | Tomatoes | Farmers were taught the period at which they can control weed on their vegetable farm. This is the interval in the life cycle of the crop when it must be weed-free to prevent yield loss. Horticultural crops are very sensitive to weed competition and need to keep them weed-free, from planting, emergency or until the end of their critical weed-free period. Also the critical weed-free period for some vegetable crops are: *Cabbage, early - 3 weeks after planting *Onion - the whole season *Tomatoes - 6 weeks after transplant. | None | None |
| Nigeria | ACTING NOW NI | Training/Capacity Building/Workshop | Pepper | At the end of the training farmers were made to understand the term weed control. Weed control. Also, This should be done when the weed competition with the crop can reduce vigour, uniformly and overall yield. Vegetable and flower crops are very sensitive to weed competition and need to keep them weed-free, from planting, emergency or until the end. | None | None |
| Nigeria | ACTING NOW NI | Training/Capacity Building/Workshop | Tomatoes | Farmers were made to understand the various methods of weed control which are non-chemical and chemical Many non-chemical weed management methods are common sense farming practices. These practices are of increasing importance due to consumers concerns about pesticide residues , potential environmental contamination from pesticides, and unavailability of many older herbicides. | None | None |
| Nigeria | ACTING NOW NI | Training/Capacity Building/Workshop | Pepper | After the training, farmers were made to understand the concept of crop competition rotation. Crop competition is one of the cheapest and most useful methods a vegetable producer can use to control weeds. Often,it means using the best crop production methods, methods so favourable to the crop that weeds are crowded out. | None | None |
| Nigeria | ACTING NOW NI | Training/Capacity Building/Workshop | Cabbage | Farmers were taught the easy methods to reduce cost and improve weed Control, which are as follows: *Always read and follow the directions on the label. *Calibrate your spray rig and keep it in good working order. *Apply herbicides as a band rather than broadcast. *Apply post emergency sprays when weeds are small. *Plant competitive crops in weedy areas and non-competitive crops in cleaner areas of the field. | None | None |

| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Training/Capacity Building/Workshop | Oil Palm | The participants were encouraged to be more active in reaching out to farmers and government to support and promote sustainable climate-smart practices. | Some of the participants came late for the workshop | Information should be disseminated on time so as to allow participants plan ahead |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Training/Capacity Building/Workshop | Oil Palm | The CFs were taken through a 2-day workshop where they were reminded of the essence of climate-smart oil palm production through a series of topics. They were then made to commit to working with Solidaridad as CFs by voluntarily submitting typed expression of interest, in response to a ToR earlier sent out for interested CFs for NISCOPS 2 | 2 Challenges were noticed, which included the following; 1. Difficulty of some CFs to send in their expression of interest 2. Difficulty in filling the forest data form. The first one was handled eventually while the second one is on-going. 3. The time was too short for the topics to be covered. Plus, some topics came in after the workshop had started, hence earlier scheduled topics could not be treated. | 1. More days should be allowed for a workshop of this nature. 2. The agenda should be finalized before the commencement of workshops and time for each topic should be respected. |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Training/Capacity Building/Workshop | Oil Palm | The training was successful,we started around 10am and close around 3pm | There is raining | People are happy |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Monitoring | Oil Palm | The tech upgrade for the 8 selected mills has been completed and the mill owners and workers have been trained. The operations of the mills are easier now with less fuel wood and water used. | The major challenge was that some of the mill owners did not respond well to instruction from the consultant in terms of making adequate arrangements for materials needed to test run the mills such as setting up drums for cooling water. At Umuabi in Enugu, the base for the Prime mover was discovered to have been done wrongly and needs to be excavated and reworked. At Ofante, the presser developed fault and needs to be serviced. A proper oil extraction rate could not be done as the mills were only just been set up after the upgrade. | A follow up monitoring visit should be carried out after a period of three months to confirm the performance of the mills and the difference in oil extraction rate. |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Items Distribution | Oil Palm | The seeds and other palm nursery items were successfully received by the 42 farmers/VSLA groups across Akwa Ibom and Cross River States. These items will be used to start oil palm nurseries in the communities where these groups are located. The groups take full and total responsibility for the establishment and maintenance of the nurseries till maturity while the community facilitators along with Solidalidad monitors the progress of the nurseries. At maturity, the seedlings sold at a cost to the group members and the proceeds plunged back into new circle of the nurseries for the group. | 1. The loading of the items delayed arriving at the communities 2. Lifting of the heavy items, especially fertilizer posed serious challenges. To resolve this, a CF (Sylvanus) in AKS was engaged for a fee and hired labour was applied in CRS 3. The hilux vehicle used was not able to carry all the bags needed at some locations, hence the need to go twice. 4. Rain was another challenging factor as it delayed our movements several times | I. Monitoring of the nurseries should be deliberate and consistent to ensure best practices are being observed and maintained 2. More groups should be considered in the future to make the activity go round the groups in NISCOPS |

Measures to strengthen policy influencing at National and sub national were deliberated upon and conclusion was to invite key stakeholders to a dialogue session. NISCOPS Phase 2 and its goals were also introduced. This will cascade to the sub national and how the project is implemented. | NIL | It was recommended that the following be followed up 1. All members to assist to get their Ministers and or Perm Sects to attend the forthcoming NISCOPS Phase 2 Launch in June, 2024. 2. Field visits be undertaken subsequently to monitor project implementation at sub national |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Training/Capacity Building/Workshop | Oil Palm | A total of 32 new Enumerators were trained for 3 days, both theoretically and field practical. 3 of this number ce.from.Akwa Ibom state (1 male and 2 females). 14 came from Cross River state, made up of 7 males and 7 females, while 5 came from Enugu, made up of 4 males and 1 female. 10 came from Kogi, made up of 6 males and 4 females. Grand total attendance shows 18 males and 14 females. The participants were exposed to the ethics of SWA, communication processes, PMEL requirements and SWA code of conduct. This is in addition to training on Group formation using VSLA strategy, BMP and GSI in oil palm production. They were then taken through the contract terms and work plan, where they had 2 weeks to form a minimum of 5 farmer groups and 6 weeks to train the farmers and set up at least 1 BMP demo plot. All the CFs accepted and signed the contract term. | The major challenge faced was in the area of tools for the practical in the field as matchets, hoes and spades were not enough to engage all participants. | 1. SWA branded T-shirts be provided for these new CFs. 2. Monitoring of the activities of these CFs be carried out periodically. 3. Further training on VSLA and Forest protection and biodiversity conservation be given to these new CFs. |

| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Sensitisation | Oil Palm | Oli palm is very important to plant and maintain | Farmers complained to see the samples of seedlings and to provide them refleshment during sensitisation or any stage | To have samples of seedlings with me to prove to them,also mobility to enable CF to move to some of the interior places |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Sensitisation | Oil Palm | Oil palm is good to plant and nurture in order to produce fruits | Farmers want to see visual video of the organization to believe more about Solidaridad in the laptop | Laptop should be provided to CF to display to the farmers during sensitisation and other wise |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Items Distribution | Oil Palm | Satisfactory. Members of the two groups were very excited and appreciative. | Access road to the community is terrible. | Any other assistance depends on how they can be able to handle these ones well. |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Sensitisation | Oil Palm | The Sensitization recorded a good number of Oil palm farmers, the Chief of Ojor and key Community leaders, and women in attendance. The Sensitization activity started with the Introduction of Solidaridad, NISCOPS Project and the need to identify with farmers group and be part of the training on BMP. Questions and Answers session was the highlight of the sensitization as participants expressed gratitude and interest in unlearning old farm practice and relearning the Best Management Practice for increase yield in their Oil Palm farms. Two (2) VSLA groups were instantly formed as they all registered their names and pledged their cooperation to achieve maximum results in the NISCOPS Project. | The women (female farmers) expressed their dismay for not being informed nor invited earlier by the community messenger for the sensitization. The Community facilitator requested to have the presence of women before commencement of the sensitization activity. An apology was tendered to the women and the CF informed them of Solidaridad's gender sensitivity and promised female inclusion in all the projects and programs | I recommend that prior to any activity, letters of invitation be sent to the Women Community leaders for proper information and involvement during consultations. |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Monitoring | Oil Palm | All necessary corrections were effected. | Accessibility and transport cost. | Prompt mobilisation. |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | VSLA Engagements | Oil Palm | Vsla was conducted | The menmbers were not completed | Good conduct |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Sensitisation | Oil Palm | It was a successful one, almost all the villagers come out and they were happy to receive me and welcome the idea. | Most of them were talking about loans. | Entertainment |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Sensitisation | Oil Palm | The sensitization was able to clearly communicate the goals and objectives of the various projects adopted by SOLIDARIDAD. The VSLA for instance is tailored towards enhancing human capital generation and improvement. While the climate smart oil palm practices are meant to achieve sustainably and enhance the well-being of the people in the community. | Chief amongst them was the complaints from members of the community, as regards the negligence of their respective VSLAs groups. They established from the start of the meeting that they are not alien to the term SOLIDARIDAD. They have their VSLA boxes, though they have stopped using them due to lack of follow ups. | Again I will recommend a strong feedback mechanism between SOLIDARIDAD and this community through the CFs. If need be they should be some sort of incentive, no matter how small SOLIDARIDAD to these communities. They were told that SOLIDARIDAD sometimes brings improved oil palm seedlings (tenera) to farmers free of charge. I don't it will be a bad idea if these communities have a taste of such benefits at such a time. |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Sensitisation | Oil Palm | The sensitization was able to project the VSLA initiative to the community and how it's meant to generate human capital and alleviate poverty. The sensitization also discussed the core tenets of SOLIDARIDAD and it's goals and objectives. Finally the sensitization reiterated climate smart practices that are aimed at enhancing sustainability and wellbeing. | Number one challenge is mobility. The areas I cover are the most remote in the local government. Boarding a bike or vehicle to such places can be challenging. Challenge number two is the fact that most of these communities are not alien to the term SOLIDARIDAD, but they complained of being neglected at some points, they was no follow up and at times no communication between them and CFs. Am sure this was mainly due to mobility and access challenges. | I will recommend a strong feedback mechanism between this community and SOLIDARIDAD through the CFs. And the CFs will need to be efficiently mobilized with the necessary wherewithal to access the community and monitor activities and operations. |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Sensitisation | Oil Palm | Conclusively, the farmers were briefed on the climate status report and the state of the ozone layer, activities of humans resulting in the emissions of green house gasses results to the harsh climate changes we experience. Hence the need for the adoption of climate smart practices in oil palm cultivation. The VSLA initiative also was equally projected in details. | Mobility and trust building with the community, as same old complaints was also obtainable here. Mobility on my own part as a CF though . | Same as that of the above communites reported. |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Meetings | Oil Palm | Is to pay serious ttention to the nursary and to be more committed to the work | Some the challenges face now was that since it was farming season many could not turnup for the work | I commented members their hard work and comittment to the work and charge them to do better |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Meetings | Oil Palm | All agreed and aceptet to raise the oil palm nursary | The chalange face was pick of farming season were all farmers are trying to meet up wit farming activities so all could not turnup | I comended all that came and encourage to put in their best to keep the flag flying |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Sensitisation | Oil Palm | They should try and put what they were train for into practice | Age | Intertenment |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Sensitisation | Oil Palm | The sensitisation was successful, we had 31 number of persons, the community leaders supported the project. they encouraged the farmers in their community to be part of the project. the people were so excited especially the women. it was full of fun. | Most of The people were anxious about the benefit they will get immediately. another challenge I faced was lack of cooperation among the farmers. it took them time to agree on a fixed time for meeting. | I recommend that during sensitisation, little token should be given to farmers to motivate them to participate in the project. |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Sensitisation | Oil Palm | The participants where very happy and the sensitisation was successful. | lack of refreshment | provision of a light refreshment during the training. |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Sensitisation | Oil Palm | Group formation | Convincing the farmers to embrace the new method of oil palm production | More awareness should be created and provision for entertainment . |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Sensitisation | Oil Palm | The activity started with introduction of Solidaridad, NISCOPS Project with emphasis on the need to identify with farmers group and be actively involved in the Best Management Practice training. Participants were however urged to invite other farmers that were not in attendance to identify with farmers groups where relevant information and training will be passed. The questions and answers session was quite enlightening as it gave opportunity to farmers to have a clear understanding of the benefits of BMP training and projects VSLA group was formed and participants expressed confidence that the training project when applied will boost Oil production and promised to inform other farmers that were absent during the sensitization. | Participants expressed concerns over past experiences of failed promises by organizations and other stake holders in training and supports, some of such projects which they claimed ended at just sensitization activities. This complaints however affected the turn out of Oil Palm farmers and millers during the sensitization. | I recommend use of video and picture evidence of past activities and the success stories of the projects that can help during sensitization exercise to boost confidence of farmers. After forming the VSLA groups, proposed dates for next activity should be agreed upon and made known to the farmers. |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Sensitisation | Oil Palm | The sensitization was successfully done, the farmers and the chief welcome the idea with great joy | The road is bad | The organization should provide fliers for cfs to use during sensitisation. It will help alot. |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Training/Capacity Building/Workshop | Oil Palm | The training was successful | Some farmers are effected by the burial ceremonies therefore keep them away from the training | The training was so interesting to the farmers and they are looking forward for more training |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Sensitisation | Oil Palm | The sensitization was successful though farmers came out late and some refused to stay because their expectation was money. Question like if the farmers are expected to pay to belong to the farmers group was asked and appropriate answer given. The Chief also indicated interest of membership as he is planning to start a new oil palm farming | Farmers came out late, expected money. Some complained that others groups came in but nothing was done in the community. Others requested for good palm fruits for planting | Something like good palm fruits be given for motivation during sensitization |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Meetings | Oil Palm | All agreed to do the nursary | The challenge was for some members that are coming from far places | I comend for Co operation among members that house divided against it self cannot stand |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Training/Capacity Building/Workshop | Oil Palm | It was a sensitisation on Best Management Practices, carried out with farmers of Odonget community in Obubra LGA of Cross River State, it was meant to educate the farmers on the importance of BMP in their oil palm fields. 33 farmers were in attendance including community stakeholders,with majority as males because, females are not given farm lands according to tradition and 2 farmers group were formed. | Farmers were reluctant in getting interested because of previous occasions of community facilitators | Solidaridad should provide materials for identification of community facilitators |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Sensitisation | Oil Palm | Successful | Is so difficult gathering the farmers, because is farming season. And some of the farmers don't like joining the group photo. | I recommend that the farmers should be encouraged with words that will make them believe that SOLIDARIDAD meant well for them |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Training/Capacity Building/Workshop | Oil Palm | (1) Through question and answer session, it's clear that participants' understanding of the training is satisfactory. (2)Raising oil palm nursery and it's management by the trained smallholder farmers themselves ensures increased sense of commitment, high quality planting material, high yield and improved economy and livelihood of the farmers. (4) Loses will be minimized. | (1) Inavailability of enough training materials to aid participants' easy understanding, e.g videos on oil palm nursery operation and management, projector and laptop. (2) Bad roads that lead to the venue of the training which consequently attracts higher cost of transport. (3) Heavy rainfall which obstructed early movement to the venue. | (1) Provision of enough training materials, e.g videos on oil palm nursery operation , projector and laptop. (2) Provision of car or motor - cycle to CFs to ensure timely/easy movement to the participating communities. (3) Provision of motivation to the participating farmers during training session. |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Sensitisation | Oil Palm | The sensitisation was successful, the community leaders, the clergy, able body men and women were present. The number of persons present were about 50 and above. The people were happy, they accepted the project and promised to join the farmer group. | I did not really face any challenge at Ogene Oforachi community other than the late coming of some of the participants that eventually led to late closing of the meeting. | I would recommend that more Community Facilitators should be employed, trained and send to communities that are waiting to participate in the project because there are plenty communities that have not been covered. |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Training/Capacity Building/Workshop | Oil Palm | Training was successful | The farmers participation was was very low because of transportation fare | The training was interesting to the farmers and they are looking forward for more training |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Sensitisation | Oil Palm | Based on their suggestions, members have vowed to do their best to see that the group move forward. | Based on their previous experiences with government promises, many of are discouraged from belonging to any group. | That a revisit should be done to the group and something enticing should be done to the group to encourage members |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Monitoring | Oil Palm | The group are doing well | No trouble | They are doing well |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Training/Capacity Building/Workshop | Oil Palm | The next will be on two weeks time. | The raining season is so much affecting the farmers,due farm work | Farmers need assistance in term of transportation |

| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Items Distribution | Oil Palm | These items were distributed to 18 farmer groups (10 in Enugu and 8 in Kogi). Each group received 2,000 sprouted oil palm seeds, 2,100 polybags, 2 bags of fertilizer, 2 liters of cypermethrin, and 4 packs of Furadan 5G to kickstart their oil palm nurseries. Once the seeds are transplanted into seedlings, they will be shared among the members of each group. | Ensuring the safe and timely transportation of sprouted oil palm seeds, fertilizers, and chemicals, while avoiding damage and contamination. | Monitoring of the nurseries should be deliberate and consistent until the seeds grow into seedlings to ensure best practices are observed and maintained. |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Sensitisation | Oil Palm | It was concluded by making sure that the essence of this sensitisation was well communicated to the farmers for them to put all that were said to them into work | Land issues/lack of women in attendance | I recommend that the local oil palm farmers are well supported with the necessary incentive and facilities like hybrid or improved variety of palm seedlings and as well fertilizer. |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Sensitisation | Oil Palm | The sensitisation was concluded by making sure that the farmers/participant are well informed on the need to diversify into oils palm farming and as well making sure that they are formation of groups. | None | I recommend that the farmers/participant in the rural areas are been given the necessary help, incentive like oil palm seedlings and other agricultural equipments to help boosting theirs farm output. |

| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Sensitisation | Oil Palm | Sensitisation at Ogugu community in Olamaboro LGA Kogi state today was a great success. The number of persons present were above 40. I explained to the farmers what the project is all about, they understood, accepted the project and joined the farmer group, infact, they agreed on a fixed date for the next meeting. | Late coming of the participants | More time should be given to the CF please, because it's very difficult to organize and form farmer group in some of the communities. You would need to convince them before they will accept to gather, some will say come next week and even next month, |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Training/Capacity Building/Workshop | Oil Palm | (1) The participants' understanding of the training was satisfactory based on the way they answered questions during question and answer session. (2) The establishment of oil palm nursery by smallholder farmers in line with the skills acquired from the training promotes their sense of commitment, promotes production of high quality planting material, promotes high yield which will consequently improves the economy and livelihood of the smallholder farmers including their communities. (3) Since this was on - site training, participants had the opportunity to demonstrate what they were taught while the trainer (CF) supervised. | (1) Inavailability of enough training materials to aid easier/quick understanding of the subject, e.g videos on oil palm nursery operations and management, projector, laptop and generator. (2) Bad roads that lead to the venue of the training which attracts abnormally high cost of transport fare. (3) Rain fall: currently we are in rainy season and rainfall is an hindrance to timely movement to and from the venue of the event. It also leads to poor attendance. | (1) provision of enough training materials, e.g videos on oil palm nursery operation and management, projector, laptop and generator. (2) Provision of mobility to CFs , e.g car or motor - cycle for easier/prompt movement to the participating communities. (3) Provision of motivation to the participating farmers during the training. This will ginger their interest to participate in subsequent trainings. |

| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Monitoring | Oil Palm | The farmers are happy for the visit and promise to improve in maintaining the nursery | The challenges are that not all the sprouted nuts planted germinate, and also birds are disturbing in the area | I suggest netting around the nursery site prevent animals from getting in to the nursery |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Sensitisation | Oil Palm | Farmers were educated on what Solidaridad stands for. There were also enlightened about the benefits of this group. | Participants were unable to gather on time cuz there was rainfall. | Provision of vehicle. |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Sensitisation | Oil Palm | Farmers were intimated of the Project and it's benefits to farmers. Most of them welcomed the development. A few, about two of them said they would have made some money with their time instead of participating in the sensitization with reason that I didn't come with anything like fertilizers for them. Majority were glad but said I should tell Solidaridad to support Ikot Nkim Farmers. At the end, the sensitization was successful. | Farmers complained that years ago, one Nkanta came from Solidaridad and left without giving them anything. Five male farmers refused to take photos saying they won't allow people to use their pictures to make money without benefits again. | Once in three or four months, fertilizers or other available items should be made available to motivate farmers. |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Training/Capacity Building/Workshop | Oil Palm | Training was successfully completed and 21 farmers were in attendance. Training was carried out in isabang community of Obubra LGA Cross River State. Farmers were trained on BMPs, which are crucial in minimizing environmental impact, maximizing yield, and promoting social responsibility. | Lack of interest by some farmers due to incomplete farmers project by government agency. | Farmers should be empowered at the end of the training to encourage and support them |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Sensitisation | Oil Palm | Was successful, though stressful | Some of the farmers find it difficult to believe that SOLIDARIDAD is real. Some will give a listening, while some will not, but call us liars | I recommend that SOLIDARIDAD should pay a visit to the farmers as soon as possible so they will believe this program is real. |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Monitoring | Oil Palm | Periodic visits will help the farmers | Distance covered to access the nursery | A medium size polythene bags should be used to ease filling. |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Monitoring | Oil Palm | To ensure effective compliance, regular visits will help greatly | Getting all the members to the site | Smaller polythene bags should be used to ease filling |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Monitoring | Oil Palm | More visits to the nursery will help better the performance of the seedlings | Getting all the members of the farmer group was a challenge. I realize that farmers had issues filling the bags | Smaller polythene bags should be used |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Sensitisation | Oil Palm | The sensitisation was concluded by forming the farmers groups and VSLAs groups | Difficulty in gathering the farmers and participant and low turnout of people | I recommend that the farmers are been given the necessary incentive and agriculture equipment needed |

| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Training/Capacity Building/Workshop | Oil Palm | Training was successful, the attendance was okay(31 present out of 50) . Trained farmers very willing to update their farm records and do good record keeping | Heavy rain fall this day as at the agreed meeting time.this deprived us from using the oil palm farm site 19 farmers were absent, maybe due to rain fall. | Retraining is necessary. These farmers should be included to the on going distribution of free sprouted nuts, polybags, herbicides, fertilizer. Etc. to encourage them too. |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Monitoring | Oil Palm | The farmers were encouraged to expedite action to meet up with the target. | Logistics problem. | Increase mobilisation. |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Sensitisation | Oil Palm | Farmers came out in numbers but were not courageous, although they were convinced and group was formed at the end of the sensitisation. | Farmers lack confidence | The sensitisation was challenging, although the aim was achieved at the end of the sensitisation. |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Sensitisation | Oil Palm | It was waw, the farmers really appreciate Solidaridad for they impact. | The challenges faced was that, the community was asking if the organization will at least provide them with some of those oil palm fruit. At first, it was hard to gather them. | The organization should try to give some of the farmers the privilege to also benefit from the Solidaridad product apart from the training. |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Sensitisation | Oil Palm | The Sensitisation was a huge success and impactful, we have great numbers of oil palm farmers around and they were very happy that Solidaridad can recognize them to bring this wonderful eye openers to them. | Some of the changes faced during this sensitisation was rain falls and all the farmers are all asking the same questions that was will be their benefits apart from the training. It very hard to gather some of those farmers. | I will like to recommend that the oil palm farmers should be giving at least one of the product oil palm. |

| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Monitoring | Oil Palm | 1. Members of the farmers' group in this community are serious, hard working and committed based on the speed they use in completing majority of activities involved in the establishment of the oil palm nursery. 2. The germinating sprouted nuts planted in the poly bags look good and promising. 3. Those I interacted with during this monitoring visit disclosed to me that members of the farmers' group have planned to raise a shade over the nursery site to protect the germinating nuts from direct rain drops and sun light. 4. Next monitoring visit was fixed on 19/06/2024(after 2 weeks), to complete 2 visits in the month of June, 2024 as recommended. | 1. Deplorable road that leads to the community/nursery site which attracts abnormally high cost of transport fare. 2. Scarcity of means of transport. This usually cause delay of movement to the participating community which results in late arrival and late start of the day's activity. | 1. Provision of means of transport, e.g car or motor - cycle to the CFs to enhance timely movement to and from the communities where monitoring and other SWA activities take place. 2. Increment of transport money to match with the current escalating cost of transport (especially for those CFs who work in rural communities where cost of transport is very high due to bad roads and scarce means of transport. 3. The deplorable road leading to the communities where SWA projects, e.g oil palm nursery site are located should be re - constructed for easy and cost - effective movement. |

| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Sensitisation | Oil Palm | Sensitisation at Ogene_uyi in Olamaboro LGA of Kogi state was a great success as we have the "Gago" which is the community head in attendance. Ogene uyi is a very small community. The number of male present were 6 and 9 female participants. The people were happy with me and the project.we formed the farmer group, and they all joined the group with joy. | The road to Ogene uyi is very rough,so I was delayed on the road when I was going and after the meeting when I was coming back, the bike that took me spoiled and that made me to come home late. | I recommend that book with pictures of oil Palm be provided for the farmers for easy understanding. |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Sensitisation | Oil Palm | That Best Management practices (BMP) should be practiced by small oil palm holders for them to get effective yield. | Getting a large number of farmers for the sensitisation. | Top solidaridad officials should visit communities from time to time, for the farmers to see new faces rather than the ones they already know. |

After Questions and Answers session, farmers expressed satisfaction and promised to practice BMP on their Oil Palm farms. The training was successful. | Challenges faced include: 1. Most Farmers have no Phone neither have phone numbers of relatives. The phone Numbers repeatedly used for farmers without phone numbers is that of their group leaders for easy access to the farmers. 2. Two farmers groups were jointly trained on the same farm at the same time because the farmers decided they wanted same date for training which is their market day and is convenient for all farmers to participate. Number of Farmers in group A= 17 Number of Farmers in group B=18 Total Number of Farmers trained= 35 | Farm tools such as Sickle, Palm harvester, Cutlasses, Rain boots, sample fertilizers etc. should be provided to Community Facilitators to use for the practical training as most Farmers do know how to use these tools other than Matches. |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Sensitisation | Oil Palm | Well, to very high extent the sensitization is superb | Doubtful mind some in the sensitization ground. | I will sincerely recommend that our great organization do provide a kind of hard copy flyers that will be shared among some learned farmers.

| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Training/Capacity Building/Workshop | Oil Palm | 32 new Cfs were trained for 3 days on the principles of VSLA as well as on PMEL monitoring tools. Participants came from Kogi State ( 10- 6 males, 4 females), Enugu state ( 5 - 3 males, 2 females), Cross River State ( 14 - 7 males, 7 females) and Akwa Ibom State (3 - 1 male, 2 females). For 3 days, the participants were taken through the reudiments of VSLA with practical sessions, to horn their skills and capacitate them to be able to both form and supervise VSLAs in their communities. Sessions on VSLA monitoring was taken virtually by Ogo Chukwu Akunna and repeated the next day by the PA, Ikenna, as well, as a refresher train in on activity tracker reporting. | VSLA Kits were not available though this was resolved by borrowing from a community in Nkanu West, Enugu. | The VSLA Kitshluld be procured without delay so that the CFS can start forming and training their groups without delay. |
| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Training/Capacity Building/Workshop | Oil Palm | The participants were drawn from the 4 NISCOPS States and from 10 of the 15 LGAs that have signed MOU with NISCOPS. They came from communities that have signed the Community forest protection plan during phase 1 of NISCOPS. A total of 42 CFs were in attendance, segregated as 11 old CFs and 31 new CFs (27 males and 15 females). These were taken through a training on MIS before the training on Introduction to Agroforestry, Inter dropping Systems in oil palm and finally, a refresher session on activity tracker reporting. 400 indigenous forest tree species will be procured and distributed to the old CFs for onward distribution to their oil palm farmers who will use these forest tree species to inter plant in their oil palm farms to help contribute to carbon sequestration. | The major challenge encountered was the adjustment of the training date backwards to accommodate the MIS consultant. This led to some of the old CFs not to be able to attend as the information on the change of date could not get to them early enough. The second challenge was the large number of participants, making lodging all of them in one facility impossible especially with the short notice to the hotel. | 1. Enough time be given for meetings so that all participants get the notice early enough to arrange to attend. |

| Nigeria | NISCOPS NI | Monitoring | Oil Palm | The monitoring exercise took the Team of Egong, Pita and Jacinta to 8 communities in Bekwarra, 5 communities in Ikom and 1 community in Boki (the distance was too much to be able to meet farmers in more than one community in a day). We started with the oil palm nursery inspection and Pita interviewed some of the beneficiaries while Egong did agronomic training with some of the groups to shore up what the CF had already done. The records of each nursery site were assessed. The Geo Coordinate if each nursery site was taken. This is sent in a different activity tracker for the attention of the PMEL Unit. Thereafter, some of the newly formed farmer groups were visited and strengthened with some farmers interviewed. | The challenges included mainly: 1. The long distances needed to travel to each community and site. Because of this, some farmers could not be seen on our arrival as they had dispersed already. 2. More days should be allocated for this type of exercise as many of the nursery sites in Cross River state and many of the newly formed farmer groups could not be visited. | More days should be allotted for this type of exercise to be able to do a thorough job. |

Farmers fielded questions from Field access, Ground Cover Management, Pruning and Canopy management, crop residue and fertilizer application, flooding and erosion control, and more. Answers were satisfactorily provided. Farmers expressed appreciation to Solidaridad and the Community facilitator for NISCOPS project and appealed for continues training and supports. The training was indeed successful. | The challenges faced during this training were: 1. Inability of the CF to arrive the community early as motorcycles plying that route refused to go there because of the slippery/marshy nature of the road especially during or after rainfall, as vehicles find it difficult to easily access the community. 2. The Community leaders were in doubt of the project continuity due to experiences of past failures or lack of continuity of similar projects either by government or other NGOs, caused the delay to mobilize farmers until I arrived. | I recommend that motor bikes be provided to Community Facilitators who go into difficult terrains to ease movement within the local communities and to arrive early for trainings and other community engagements. |
